Need a rec! The sushi place is closed due to the water!

Hope to make it back there again. Not sure if it's closed because of the water situation. I mean, you boil water to make rice anyways right? Any other recommendations? I've all but given up on steak places for quality. I can pan sear, oven finish one on an electric stove better than most places. That being said, sometimes I want steak! I just don't expect to be wow'ed

Impressive! Was hoping you would have bought my computer while there.

Ajishin The guy from Japan ordered a fatty tuna Nigri and it was much more fatty. I think he got special treatment

First night in Novi. Found an out of the way Sushi/Udon place that was hopping. Met a guy from Japan who is an engineering manager for a large German company, so that was cool. He told me he came to the place last weekend and couldn't get a seat.

Plant growth is freaking black magic to me.

I was quoted $5800 to do 320 sqft of flag stone patio. I think I can get the materials and tools for < $2k. Anyone done similar work/ have any tips? I think I'm most worried about digging 7" of dirt x320+ sq ft.

Going to look at a Craigslist computer. I7-6700, 8gb RAM, 240GB SSD & 500GB HDD and a GTX 1030 video card for <$500

Really wish I would have paid for the student priced Creative Suite when I was in college.

Curious what you like better. $10/mon - LR and 1TB $10/mon - LR, Photoshop and 20GB $20/mon - LR, Photoshop and 1 TB If you use Photoshop then I can see some value, not sure how much a standalone version is. For storage. Amazon offers unlimited photo storage (including RAW) with Prime for $99/year. The features between CC and standalone don't warrant a change at the moment.

Looks like I nailed it when I bought LR6 https://petapixel.com/2017/10/18/bye-bye-lightroom-hello-lightroom-cc-faster-lightroom-classic/

Trying to build a similar setup to this https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883795901&ignorebbr=1 $580 came up with this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TcB8pb $675

Do tell. If I want to spend 2x as much for half the performance I'd prefer to buy Apple.

I think I'm also scared of building a computer and nickle and dime'ing myself.

I'm trying to find a descent "barebones" computer that I can add a video card and a stick of RAM and call it good.

Exporting a few photos

I am using a 7 year old $369 laptop i5-2450m and 8gb RAM

Really want to buy a descent desktop PC for Lightroom. Any places to look. I wouldn't mind ordering all the parts myself and building, but don't want to spend a bunch of time piecing it together.

Cellphone, mirrorless or DSLR. Wished I had a mirrorless last night as I was at an event and don't really want to lug around a DSLR.

Did I miss a Peng post or is he lurking?

Butts are so forgiving. One of the first butts I cooked I let the egg lick flames out the top (over 500 on the dome),pretty much killed the fire overnight and finished at 275ish. It was still so good.

The only way that's worth it is if you get paid so much more you can afford to move of you are okay with having a place near there to stay during the week.

Having worked one tradeshow I understand. We will have a handful of people so you get plenty of breaks. You would get a chance to meet the best research engineer at SwRI.

You going to be out there? Or is that the only thing that ever happens in Novi?

Ding ding ding. Sloppy seconds as female colleague got an opportunity to go to Germany instead.
